Founded in 947 in memory of Michizane no Sugawara, a historian and poet who became famous for his knowledge of Chinese classics. He served as a minister before being exiled to Kyūshū. After his death, the unfortunate events that occurred at court were attributed to his revenge. To appease his spirit, he was elevated to the dignity of Great of Literature. The sanctuary is known for its plum trees and... to be the place of pilgrimage for students on the eve of exams. Note: a large flea market is held on the 25th of each month.

Le sanctuaire Kitano Temman abrite un cinquantaine d'espèces de sakuras et est particulièrement beau durant la période du Hanami.
